We would suggest that you start your wiki off by doing these few basic things:
*Upload a logo. You can do this by uploading an image over [[:File:Wiki.png]]. (not available on some skins)
*Design your [[Main Page]]. The main page is likely the first thing users will see. It should be attractive and catch the eye.
*Start building content. All wikis need content to become the best they can be.

If you need help with making a logo, skin or favicon, please see [[s:w:logocreation|ShoutWiki's Logo Creation Wiki]].

If you need any help with building your wiki, feel free to contact [[s:ShoutWiki Staff|ShoutWiki staff]] either via their talk pages or via [[Special:Contact]]. Alternatively, you can talk to us, or other users, via [[s:ShoutWiki Hub:IRC|IRC]].

Thank you again for using ShoutWiki.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the
road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future
pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green)
marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require
45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure
phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

At the [http://www.cliftonpark.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Final-11-10-2015.pdf November 12, 2015 Clifton Park Planning Board Meeting], there was confusion about the location of the Land Preservation Area on 5 Dhara Court. The location is important because the homeowner cannot cut trees of build fences in the area. The Board Members were presented with a lot plan that showed a 40 foot area while a neighbor described a plan with a 50 foot buffer. The following email explains the confusion.

==November 12, 2015 E-mail to John Scavo and Rocco Ferraro=

Gentlemen,

I now understand the confusion about the 2 maps for the Longkill
(Kain) Subdivision.

There are two maps on file with the County:

;[[media:M2011213.pdf|M2011213]]
:Rec: 12/13/2011
:Doc Date: 1/24/2006
:Note: Sheet 2 revised on 4/17/2012 with cross link to

;[[media:M2012053.pdf|M2012053]]
:Rec: 4/17/2012
:Doc Date: 1/24/2006

The 2011 (unrevised) map shows that the Land Preservation Area (LPA)
is 40 feet + 10  feet deeded to Wassenaar (now Gendron). Note that the
bottom dimension of the LPA is 398.89 ft.

The revised 2012 maps shows that the LPA is 50 feet. The 10 feet
deeded to Wassenaar is not part of the LPA. Notice that the bottom
dimension of the LPA is 388.89 feet (10 feet less than the unrevised
map).

The plot plan given to the 5 Dhara Court residents is taken from the
2011 (unrevised) map. This the confusion.

The PDF's on the County site are difficult to read since they are full
size drawings. I cropped out the relevant section of Sheet 2 from each
and I've attached them. This should be easily verified by looking at
the full size subdivision plan.</text>

At the [http://www.cliftonpark.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Final-11-10-2015.pdf November 12, 2015 Clifton Park Planning Board Meeting], there was confusion about the location of the Land Preservation Area on 5 Dhara Court. The location is important because the homeowner cannot cut trees of build fences in the area. The Board Members were presented with a lot plan that showed a 40 foot area while a neighbor described a plan with a 50 foot buffer. The following email explains the confusion.

Gentlemen,

I now understand the confusion about the 2 maps for the Longkill (Kain Preserve) Subdivision.

There are two maps on file with the County:

;[[media:M2011213.pdf|M2011213]]
:Rec: 12/13/2011
:Doc Date: 1/24/2006
:'''Note:''' Sheet 2 revised on 4/17/2012 with cross link to

;[[media:M2012053.pdf|M2012053]]
:Rec: 4/17/2012
:Doc Date: 1/24/2006

The 2011 (unrevised) map shows that the ''Land Preservation Area'' (LPA)
is 40 feet + 10  feet deeded to Wassenaar (now Gendron). Note that the
bottom dimension of the LPA is 398.89 ft.

The revised 2012 map shows that the LPA is 50 feet. The 10 feet
deeded to Wassenaar is not part of the LPA. Notice that the bottom
dimension of the LPA is 388.89 feet (10 feet less than the unrevised
map).

The plot plan ([[media:5DharaTreePlan.pdf|here is the tree clearing plan]]) given to the 5 Dhara Court residents is taken from the
2011 (unrevised) map. This the confusion.

The PDF's on the County site are difficult to read since they are full
size drawings. I cropped out the relevant section of Sheet 2 from each
and I've attached them. This should be easily verified by looking at
the full size subdivision plan.</text>

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

=== Tree Clearing Plans ===
[[Media:LongkillTreeInventory.pdf|Here is the tree inventory.]]

These are the approved tree clearing plans. The red dots denote trees to be removed.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing4.pdf|Lot 4 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #4. Recently cleared. This lot has a significant grade drop from the road. The owners have asked to clear trees for play areas and a future pool. The approved tree clearing plan shows over fifteen trees (green) marked “to remain”. All of these trees have been removed. Code would require 45 trees to be planted. The easement area was cleared during the infrastructure phase and should be planted with replacement trees.

[[Media:LongkillTreeClearing6.pdf|Lot 6 - Dhara Court]]
* Lot #6: Under construction. The approved tree clearing plans shows over 20 trees marked (green)“trees to remain”. All of those trees were removed. Code would require almost 90 replacement trees. The 11 trees in the easement area were cleared during the infrastructure phase. This easement should be planted with replacement trees. Without prompting, the new home owners told me they “wished the builder had left more trees.”

Residents along and near Longkill Road in the Towns of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton_Park Clifton Park] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballston%2C_New_York Ballston] have banded together as FOLK, which stands for "Friends of the Longkill." This grassroots community group was originally formed to advocate for protection of important open space in the area, principally the 18.7 acres of woods and wetlands now proposed by Kain Development LLC of New Jersey for a conventional sprawl subdivision west of Longkill Road. The development is now called Kain Preserve.The land abuts [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;q=hearthside+drive,+ballston+lake,+ny&amp;ll=42.921518,-73.828254&amp;spn=0.01411,0.042915&amp;t=h Hearthside Drive] and other, more than 30-year-old streets in the Country Knolls-Longkill neighborhood, and is located along the northern boundary of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton_Park Town of Clifton Park] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballston%2C_New_York Town of Ballston] lines.
